I spent this afternoon filling another order we received today for more copies of Issue 1 of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelivesyoutouch.com\/touchjournal\/\"><em>Touch<\/em><\/a>.  I&#8217;m very pleased with the appearance and feel of our publication.  The cover stock and paper we&#8217;ve chosen to use in the printing and assembly process is of a nice weight and texture which gives the books a degree of quality I haven&#8217;t seen in many of the chapbooks I&#8217;ve purchased over the past two years.  I also purchased a business class paper cutter a few weeks ago.  It has allowed me to produce exceptionally clean and uniform edges, something I was unable to achieve with the small Fiskars wheel paper cutter I had used in the past on smaller print projects.  Even though the Fiskars is rated at a maximum of 10 sheets per cut, I haven&#8217;t been able to cut more than 8 sheets of 20 lb paper at a time.  We&#8217;re using 67 lb cover stock and 24 lb 100% recycled paper for the body pages.  Both Issue 1 and 2 have a total equivalent of just over 32 sheets of 20 lb paper, and I can easily cut up to 11 books at a time with the new cutter.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, we spent the evening discussing a vacation while we looked for a place to go.  Daniel&#8217;s priority for a location was the Atlantic coast with a beach so he could swim in the ocean.  My priority was a hot tub and a high speed internet connection.  Both of us surfed the web on our computers as we tried to decide on a town to visit that would accommodate us both.  After a few hours we settled on Atlantic City, NJ.  It&#8217;s only a few hours away and the forecast is for temperatures similar to those of home.  After I called the hotel to clarify a few of their amenities, Daniel confirmed the reservation.  He&#8217;s really looking forward to this time away to have some fun in the sun and surf.<\/p>\n<p>O.P.W.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel started his vacation today, although I think it would be more correct to say it started when he got home from work last evening.
